Well, maybe. One thing I would say is that if you use him too much, defenses will likely start taking cues and that might lead to less effectiveness and ultimately lead to bad things because it's too predictable. 

I’m super sure that him on the field, at least making defenses think of his presence, adds a ripple that none of our other “just stay in front of them” players offer.

Yes, I believe that things can get worse.

AT is not the old and slow guy that some had made him out to be. We're not really taking advantage of Chark like we're supposed to. Mingo certainly showed signs of life today. Hurst isn't really being used effectively in my opinion, and Tremble if nothing else can catch passes too. Now, of course you can blame it all on Bryce, but I'd say most of these issues come down to coaching and play calling. 

We're overusing Thielen IMO. We're trying to use him like he's a YAC guy and he just isn't. He's basically possession receiver at this point in his career. He can still get open but he's not a guy that's going to make a lot happen after the catch.

Chark is primarily a deep threat specialist. I just don't think he's a great pairing with Bryce Young. Not unless we can establish more threats to fee up opportunities for him to get one on one deep.

I don't know why we gave Hurst that contract or why fans expecting him to be a great threat. He is what he is. A low level starter/good #2 TE. What we've gotten out of him is basically what we should've expected. This is who he is.

Mingo does seem to be improving.

What is like to see out of Bryce given what we're currently doing and what he shown capable of executing is better ball placement. Watch Purdy tonight. His arm is average at best, but his anticipation and ball placement are both ELITE. He hits guys in stride and puts the ball where they don't lose any momentum so they can get that YAC. Way too often guys are having to sacrifice YAC ability just to secure the catch. Bryce has to have better anticipation and ball placement because he's never gonna have a cannon.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By CRA · Posted

      you are partially right.  We lack the key playmaker.  It's the QB.  Instead you fixate on why everyone can't lift up the guy who is supposed to lift them up.  RBs would make more guys miss if Bryce put the ball on them at the right time.  Those get pointed out often live during the game.  But he is late with most things.  So the advantageous windows close and they become dump offs.  Bryce is part of why the screen game never sets up right.  QBs that want to attack downfield do.  QBs that need Tyreek Hill.....aren't QBs that attack downfield.  See Jake.  You could give Jake Delhomme one big body possession WR.  He was a downfield attacking QB.  And so he would go to town downfield with just Moose as his WR.  We saw that play out as well.

      He also hasn't had a good front 7 pass rush three of those years (and the 2022 Broncos pass rush wasn't particularly talented either outside of Chubb). Cover 3 zone (Evero's primary zone) usually leaves underneath routes open, so QBs will usually have that checkdown option with the DC's hope that somebody then steps up to make the tackle for a short gain. Think of our Seahawks game - while the Seahawks didn't get a ton of sacks, Bryce got baited into the checkdown and the Seahawks wrapped up and tackled the RB/TE almost immediately every time for practically no gain. Unfortunately for us, half of our starters are rocking missed tackles rates that makes me want to vomit, so those 2 yard checkdowns to RBs turn into 10 yards in a hurry.

      2026 Team Needs

      By 45catfan · Posted

      The '26 draft class is loaded with upperclassmen QBs.  I would definitely take a flyer after the second round.  This is where you throw a dart blindfolded at a dartboard and hope you miraculously hit the bullseye.  At best stumble upon a Brock Purdy, at worst you waste a day two or three draft pick.  Somewhere in the middle the team finds their Andy Dalton of the future.
